International Convergence of Copyright Production, by Jin-Hyuk Kim

The enclosed EXCEL file contains 9 spreadsheets in one file:

[unesco_book] contains the original data I gathered from hard copies of UNESCO's Statistical Yearbooks. All figures refer to the total number of titles published in each country.

[unesco_film] contains the original data I gathered from hard copies of UNESCO's Statistical Yearbooks. All figures refer to the total number of films produced in each country.

[ipa_book] contains the original data I gathered from an online version of IPA's Book Production Data. It lasts from 1990 to 2000. IPA made this no longer available online.

The other 6 spreadsheets contain organized dataset I used for my regressions, where the variables are described with memo and match those in the paper in a straightforward way. 

I used STATA routines.
